Which was the better game?

Super Mario Bros. 3 was released for the NES. It was notable for being extremely hyped, even having a movie released in its honor. It was the only Mario Platformer (besides Galaxy) to go full-out on Power-Ups. It had the Mushroom, Frog, Tanooki, StarMan, Flower, and of corse the Raccoon. It also had very diversified worlds and bosses.

Super Mario World was released for the SNES and was the first Mario game to have secret levels. It had the Secret Levels, the Star Levels, and those levels with the slang like Groovy and Mondo. It also introduces the lovable dinosaur, Yoshi! You could also find many, many other secrets within the game. It too had diverse worlds and bosses.

IMO, I think Super Mario World is better. It did what SMB3 did and even more.

Super Mario Bros.3, I like the tv series too

super mario world is better in every way.

However, super mario bros 3 was better for it's generation.

You can't pick both Rol.

How silly!

SMB3 was wildly creative, while SMW was flawlessly polished.

If I were forced to choose, it would be SMW. The design is essentially unmatched to this day, and all the secrets give it the edge over SMB3.

World. Definitely. But of course, it would never have been what it became without Bros. 3 before it.

Super Mario Bros. 3 was one of the first video games I played, so I'm going with that.

You think they're almost comprable to SMS?

They're the best Mario games!

That's like saying "They're the best out of this batch of impossibly delicious gourmet meals!", you realize.
